The farther back in history you go, the more impressive the objects look. In the picture: 1. This is an amethyst cat pendant, a wonderful piece of art from the late Ptolemaic period of ancient Egypt. 2. Greek gold earring with Nike driving a chariot with two horses (350-325 BC) The chariot still has wheels turning more than two thousand years after its creation. The expressions on her horses' faces are still clearly visible, and the elegant golden reins Nika used to control them are surprisingly well preserved.
More than a hundred individual pieces of gold were used to make the single surviving earring, which was created sometime between 350 and 325 BC. BC e. Milestones of history.
